Oil type for a 2008 Ford Escape?

The recommended oil type for a 2008 Ford Escape depends on the engine it has. There were a few different engines offered that year. To be certain, check your owner's manual. It will specify the exact weight and type of oil recommended by Ford.

However, generally speaking, a 2008 Ford Escape likely uses either 5W-20 or 5W-30 motor oil. Again, consult your owner's manual to confirm. The manual will also specify the oil type's API certification (like SM, SN, or later). Using the incorrect oil can damage your engine.
